I like the old dude, but he'll likely go the way of Ron Paul on the Republican side. His Party powers-that-be will likely turn on him and go with Clinton. Doesn't look like the country's ready for him.
Doubtful--They know that Bernie is still playing with kids gloves on.
The Big Banks have their Candidate. The cash is going to Clinton. I don't think Sanders stands a chance.
The one who knows that the most is Sanders.
However, he has woken a sleeping giant. A mass of people that truly hates capitalism. It is not a revolution as of yet. However, it is not good for the structure of the Party
The next couple of decades can become a perilous time for the Democrats "Big Tent". Especially if the far left take their signals from the far right and realize that now is the time to split and form their own party.
The liberals were cheering about the changing Demographics!! But "what if" it come with changing political alliances as well?
We could very well see an ideological pure "Right" and "Left" party with Liberal Republicans and Big Corp Liberals making up the middle!! Where would you stand in this new alignment!!??
Power would be hard to come by in such a system. In fact, the grip of power would be very slippery, changing hands as fast as House changes political make up!!
I thrive for such a future in American politics!
Go Bernie Go!
In fact, these 2 opposites, are quite similar.
This is not about Bernie or Trump.
Demographics never changed. There are 3 layers in this country; poor, mid class, rich.
Mid Class have always been voting with the Rich, up until this election cycle.
Why?
Because Rich fucked MC over with 2008 crash, big time.
Poor was already poor, so they may not have minded much, but MC.....
You dont fuck with the MC, oh you DONT!!!
